New SNAP Benefit Payments: Date When Checks Over $3,000 Will Be Sent Out

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has announced that eligible households in certain states could receive substantial SNAP benefit payments, exceeding $3,000, within the next ten days. These food stamp benefits are distributed based on various factors, such as case number, Social Security number, and family name. Each state has a specific monthly payment schedule detailing the exact dates on which benefits are issued.

Regular SNAP Benefits by Household Size

SNAP benefits are calculated based on the number of people in a household. The maximum monthly benefits for different household sizes are as follows:

• 1 person: $291
• 2 people: $535
• 3 people: $766
• 4 people: $973
• 5 people: $1,155
• 6 people: $1,386
• 7 people: $1,532
• 8 people: $1,751

Each state has the flexibility to schedule payment dates according to its own system. In addition to regular SNAP benefits, some states offer larger monthly checks.
